In this Corner of the Universe, Kris versus James

Posted by CelebritiesCorner on Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 @ 4:37 pm in Entertainment.


Hanubayan. Hindi pa raw napapatawad ni Tita Kris si Tito James. Sabi ni Kwris,

"I want space—emotionally and physically" kaya raw di sila magkatabi ni James. Sa gitna nila ay nandoon si Joshua. Kawawang bata.

Hindi niya kaya pinaniniwalaan si James sa sinabi nitong wala nga. Wala ngang himalang nangyayari sa loob ng cubicle. Kung wala bakit siya nagAPOLOGIZe. pkiespelik ng mama.

"I'm just trying my best not to judge. Sino ba ang paniniwalaan mo, ang taong sumumpa kang mamahalin o sa taong gusto ka lamang sirain? Kaya humihingi ako ng space dahil ako ang naagrabiyado. Sana maunawaan ninyo kami, huwag ninyo kaming pangunahan. Bigyan ninyo kami ng panahon na maayos ito. Kung anuman ang desisyon namin, iyon siguro ang dapat," pakiusap pa niya sa press.


Oo nga naman bakit ba natin siya pakikialaman. Sige na nga wala na kaming paki. *heh*

Tuloy ba ang pagpa-file ng legal case ni James laban kay Hope?

"I don't ask him," sagot ni Kris. "Kung ano ang balak niya, kanya na ‘yon. I don't want to speak on his behalf. Basta ako, pinipilit kong maging matatag para sa mga anak ko. Sino ba ang may gusto na mangyari ito?"


Ay ano yan, hindi sila nag-uusap? Sabi nang huwag makiaalam eh.

From Kris, nalaman din namin na niyayaya siya ng Mommy niya na lumipat siya sa bahay nito sa Times Street, Quezon City.


Ay pabayaan na siya ha. Hindi na siya bata. Tita Cory.

Is the press helping us decide who to vote for on May 14?

Posted by Bryanton Post on Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 @ 8:04 am in Politics.

The campaign season is officially on. Are we getting relevant information about the senatorial and party-list candidates from the press? Is the press helping us decide who to vote for on May 14? Or are we just getting more confusing and misleading information?

Watch for the results of the 2007 Media and Elections: Media Monitoring—the latest project of the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR)—which will be released soon, to find out how the press is covering the 2007 senatorial and party-list campaign and elections.

CMFR has been monitoring the performance of the press since 1989. Its landmark citizens’ media monitoring project in the 2004 presidential elections, which included coverage of television, was a first in the Philippine electoral experience. The 2004 citizens’ media monitoring project, which included citizen groups in a broader media watch of press coverage, was also the first time that reports were released during the campaign period.

Visit www.cmfr-phil.org and www.cmfr-phil.blogspot.com to know more about the project. You may also call (894-1326/894-1314/840-0903/840-0889) or email (staff@cmfr-phil.org) CMFR for details.

CMFR is holding a round table discussion on the media coverage of the 2004 elections on March 5. Please call or email CMFR for details.

On media and democratic development

Melinda Quintos de Jesus, the executive director of the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), discussed media and democratic development last January 25 at the fourth session of the “Transformation in New Democracies" conference organized by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy.

"Democratic communities must foster a new relationship between the press and the public, more connected and more interactive," De Jesus said in her speech. "Such a relationship will evolve a new kind of journalism to meet the challenge of the age of democracy."

Boracay Beautiful Weekend

Posted by Everywhere and Here. on Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 @ 6:13 am in Personal - Philippines.

Spent the night Saturday on one of the most beautiful islands in the world as a wedding guest.

Hopped on a plane in Manila at 830 Saturday morning, landed 45 minutes later, took a one-and-a-half hour bus ride, a ten-minute ferry ride and a ten-minute tricycle ride and ended up some 420 km from home at Fairways and Bluewater - an upscale resort and golf course that friends from church kindly allowed me to use for free! Since I arrived past noon, I didn't have much time to prepare for the 4PM wedding. I showered and changed and turned on HBO and caught a quarter of the movie, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (note to self - rent or borrow this!).


I took the resort's shuttle to nearby Waling-Waling Beach Resort and three minutes later found myself looking at this view.

The couple decided to let the afternoon sun set a bit before beginning the ceremony. It was simple... fun... relaxed... a happy- tear jerker. Pictures followed and guests then dined on seafood, pasta, salads and barbecue, among other yummy weddingy foods.

Dancing followed at nearby Club Paraw. Guests formed a parade behind the newlyweds as we walked along the beach carrying glass lanterns while waiters carried torches. At the entrance, we were greeted by a fire dancer!

I emceed the post dinner festivities where the newlyweds did variations on the bridal bouquet and garter tossing. The couple's first dance as husband and wife was a fun choreographed number - Next's song, Wifey. Really cute.

We danced until 230 in the morning and went out for fruit shakes at Jonah's 24-hour fruit shake place. Seriously. I highly recommend the choco peanut flavor (doesn't come with fruit in it!). I'm a nut for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! We then hung out with the couple at their suite before calling it a night at 430.

My flight was at 0955 so I had to check out at 630, meaning I didn't really get any sleep. Nor did I get to swim, or snorkel or get a massage or any of the other fun Boracay staples. But it's alright. There's always another time.

Here are Mr. and Mrs. Rob Johnson. Congratulations!
